Hackers add Roy to Super Smash Bros. Brawl
July 1st, 2009 by David Hinkle
Smashboards forum user goodoldganon wasn’t satisfied with all of the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. His main contention with the game was that it lacked several key Melee characters. So, he did what any sensible member of society would do: He wrote a letter to Nintendo He hacked the crap out of the game.
As evidenced in the videos past the break, this isn’t merely a texture swap, as goodoldganon also incorporated Roy’s moves into the game. By delegating the hack to a certain color set of Marth’s (here it’s the red suit), he can pick Roy at will and seamlessly integrate him into the game. Sure, the bottom of the screen still says Marth, but, for all intents and purposes, this is the Roy you remember.
It’s impressive stuff, to say the least, so head past the break and check out the footage of a fighter’s return to the arena.
